Sunny"So, do you have a little crush on Steven now?" Shiela suddenly asked me.I hit her quickly. "Why are you asking me things like this?" I asked her hysterically."Can't I ask about it? I just want to know if you guys like each other. You guys have been together for a few months already. Steven is better. He is better than that, Jake. Do not hesitate to date and follow the flow if you like each other. Do not stop yourselves!" Shiela said excitedly.I hit her arm again. "Why are you thinking that way?" I asked her. "What if Steven heard this? Let's not make him uncomfortable." I added, worried about Steven learning about this."We are all girls here. We do not do that to each other! Your secret is safe with us. Don't you trust us?" Aira asked."I trusted you guys. You know that," I told them. "I just do not think it is right to do that to him. I just got out of heartbreak, and he is just with me because of our friendship. I do not want to break that and make him uncomfortable with m
Sunny"Sunny, wake up. It's already ten in the morning." I heard Shiela waking me up.I opened my eyes and looked at her. "What?" I asked."Wake up. We will have our breakfast in the stalls." Shiela replied.I slowly stood up from my bed. I wiped my eyes to see better. "Good morning," I greeted them and the other girls, who were already awake. "Are you waiting for me? Sorry," I said and apologized. "You should have woken me up." I told Shiela."It's okay. You slept late watching dramas. No wonder sometimes you are sleepy in the morning." Shiela replied."Steven is so addicted to drama. He could watch dramas all night. It feels like he is the one who influenced me to watch dramas in the first place." I shared.They all laughed at me. "We can see that." Aira said."He could watch drama all day without stopping. How could he do that?" I asked them, almost complaining about Steven's talent.I can do that. I prefer to watch dramas at night and sleep late, but I cannot always do so. I will b
SunnyThe bus sent us home one by one. We thought we would head to our school, where we would separate, but Gino said he wanted to make sure we would be home safe and sound. And also knows we are tired from this trip, and he does not want us to be in any hassle commuting to our home.I think they sent Steven home last because his house is far. "Sunny, are you ready?" I heard my grandma asking me.I nodded. "Yes, grandma. I am ready." I answered."They will be here in a few minutes." Grandma replied.We are currently wearing semi-formal attire. Mom said we should be formal, even though we were in our own house. Rendezcah's family is also not like ours. We can just say that they were rich. This is the least we can do to look presentable.When I got home, our house was already clean. It felt like they cleaned every corner of our house to ensure no dirt. I initially wanted to laugh because they prepared for this dinner, but I think my family wants to be presentable to Mr. and Mrs. Rendezca
Steven"Let's go to the meeting room." Mavin told me when he got inside his office.I am now at their headquarters. Aside from getting checked by the doctor, I am trying to understand why I am being called here. After getting shot, my wound did not heal that fast. It's been four days since that incident happened. My wound is still the same. The size did not decrease at all. Sometimes it bled when my classmates accidentally hit it.I am drinking medicine to subdue the pain, and I get fevers from time to time. They said it was the effect of what they put in the bullet. Dad also ordered them to set a high-risk level and tighten the security. They implemented the training and are currently solving the thing they put on their bullet.I followed Mavin until we got to a closed room. The blinds were down, and I saw his employees and my dad sitting quietly. Now, the question is, why am I getting involved here? I am still not part of this group and do not know about my existence here today.Are
Morning came, and Steven went to school earlier than usual, feeling down and uncomfortable. Last night, he was down with a fever again. His wound does not hurt, but the effect is still impactful. Luckily, his parents were still home, and his mother treated him.When the sun was up, his fever was not that great, and he went to school with the help of his older brother, who sent him in front of their school gate. He just put his arms on the table with his face facing the table. He is being awkward and getting uncomfortable.What his father had said last night stayed in his mind after that. He could not shoo the thoughts away. His father might be wrong, but his father must be right. He is afraid of their reaction when they learn about his secret. Would they still act normal if they knew? Or would they throw hate at him?It had been running through his mind since he entered the university. He is still determining what he should do or how to act toward them now."Steven?" Someone called him
Sunny"Were you able to stop the criminals?" I asked Mavin.He was sharing his experience with his work. Since then, his line of work has been about catching criminals. Mavin nodded proudly at me. "Of course! You do not know how good I am at my work," He boasted. "Our team is the best you could ever have." He added."You are catching criminals, so I cannot say anything to bash you," I replied. "Just make sure to take care of yourself. Criminals are still criminals. They might hurt you and the others. You still have to be aware." I reminded him.His line of work is hazardous. They should not be complacent and be alert. "Do not worry. We will be fine. We are always alert, and we make sure that we are all safe." Mavin responded.After we visited Steven at the hospital, we all went home. Marco volunteered to send us home. We are back to this activity again after Steven advised us to stop going out for a while. I had already dinner with my family. I did what I needed to do before deciding t
Sunny"Mom! I will go now." I bid goodbye to my mother."Tell Steven to get well soon, okay?" My mother reminded me.I nodded before running out of our house. I will visit Steven today in the hospital. I want to make sure he is okay or not. I fished out my phone to video call Mavin."Hey, Sunny!" Mavin greeted her happily. "You are on your way here now?" He asked when he noticed that I was walking out into the street.I nodded back. "I am on my way there. Are Auntie and Uncle there?" I asked back."Yeah, they are still here. Take care on your way." Mavin replied.I smiled and gave him a thumbs-up. "Thank you. See you soon." I said before ending the call.Before I could ride the bus, I bought fruits for Steven. Grandma handed me money and told me to buy fruits so Steven would gain more vitamins with them. I purchased different fruits, such as bananas, apples, and oranges.After a few minutes, I reached the hospital and headed inside. I quickly went to the information desk and told them
Sunny Steven messaged me tomorrow morning that he would not be attending our class today. His mother forced him to rest more and attend school on Friday. But he told me to wait after class at the university's gate saying he will fetch me. After reading that message, I immediately and excitedly got out of bed and prepared myself. I do not know why I am excited suddenly, but it makes my heart full simultaneously. I do not know what's with us, but I like it. "Sunny to earth!" Shiela yelled next to my ear. "Gosh, back to reality, Sunny. I have been calling you for the nth time." She added. I smiled at her. "Sorry." I told her. She sat beside me and looked at me thoroughly. "What is it?" She asked. "Tell me. Right now, right here." She said this with determination. Should I tell her? But I am scared about her reaction. What if she thinks of me differently? But she is my friend too. "Sunny, stop weighing things in your mind. Just talk it out. I am your friend." She said She can read
